Hi I may have the opportunity to by this 68 , got the seller on the phone is a 70years old , thé got the watch for his 20 years used sometime and stored , of curse the dial is not perfect , the have the 1039, ( the clasp is engraved TONI) on it of course will change it ))

But the selller told me no one touch that watch service or anything and the Bezel is not a DON any idea or the seller is having some memorial troubles )

With the pictures ( sorry is what I get) 012 or 022 , the price is « low » speaking about 3k.

What you think ?

Paul

 

without pictures is not fair.

the price is not fair either.

 

Sorry missed the pictures here is

 

Hi,
It's a 145012 indeed (Applied Metal Logo). The pictures are not very good...After it depends of the price...

 

this would have left the factory with a DON...so somebody must have taken it off...

 

Didn't see the price. That worth the candle imho.

 

It’s a steal at that price.

 

I have the opportunity to get this one for less than 6k...

 

Better dial this one but 3 more K

 

The first could be a .12-67/68 or a .22-68.

Is the price in £, $AUS, $US, bananas?

 

would prefer Bananas we are talking 3.5K US$, can't check if it is a .12 or.22

 

The first one is a great deal.

 

Yes, I forgot .22-68 in my message...

 

3500 US isn't really a fair price for that watch if it's a private, elderly seller. It should really be at least 4500 minimum with the bracelet.

 

I was thinking: What did I miss? My 145.022-68 has an applied logo. Glad we got this straightened out

 

You are all right...this is a 'steal'...stealing from some elderly guy who could use the cash. I would offer him more. But that's just me.

 

Agreed. The watch has a nice dial, and if it had a good DON I would think that it would be a very attractive watch that you can wear daily.
Value-wise, let's just say that at 3k$ you're stealing it. I

 

Got the seller and they confirm me that a .012 , was offered for the 18 years anniversary in June 68 bought 1 month before by his father May 68.

 

If that's what it is, it has a greater value than $4,500.US, especially with the 1039 w/516s.

 

Deal done for 3500 US$ , shopping Tommorow , Lets plan next steps now the hardest find some parts .
